For client applications interacting with SMI-S implementations, PyWBEM is a python package that provides access to WBEM Servers. It also provides a mechanism for mocking WBEM Servers. In this presentation, Mike Walker will provide an overview of PyWBEM, with an emphasis on how to learn to interact with SMI-S, through open-source mockup SMI-S 1.8.0 WBEM servers available on Github. He will highlight multiple use cases for the mockup servers, including: - Exploring new features in SMI-S 1.8.0 - Developing IT applications on your local system - Developing client software on your local system
